Latvia can accommodate Ukrainians in sanatoriums owned by Russian, Belarusian nationals 

LSM reports.

In the spring two sanatoriums in Jurmala - Russian "Dzintarkrast" (also known as "Amber Coast") and the Belarusian sanatorium "Belorusiya" - were forced to stop their work.

The former is legally owned by the Russian presidential administration department, while the latter is owned by a foundation authorized by the president of Belarus, making them directly linked to Putin and Lukashenko. The heads of both sanatoriums were blacklisted in Latvia.

Currently, the Ministry of Justice has begun legal proceedings to confiscate both of these properties, as well as the House of Moscow in Riga, and use them to house refugees from the war in Ukraine.

The official legislative process has not yet begun, but the Ministers of Justice of Latvia and Ukraine have already agreed on a decision, which the Ministry of Justice is not yet ready to make public.

Jurmala Municipality stated in a written comment: "The municipality refrains to comment on property that does not belong to it. Owners should be asked about the use of property."

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice has not yet announced how long it will take for the process to be completed and the building to be seized.

"It is clear that it is in the interests of all European countries to make sure that the property of the Russian state and Russian oligarchs is not located on the territory of the European Union. Now we have found support in other EU countries because they have similar problems," Vitols said.

One of the attractions of "Dzintarkrasts" is a holiday house for Soviet leaders.
